As reported on the website of the Ministry of State Security of the DNR, during his time in Mariupol from 2014 to 2016, Boltenko repeatedly witnessed the preparation of sabotage and reconnaissance groups to eliminate high-ranking persons of the DNR, as well as interrogations of civilians using torture.

In addition, the man told about the creation of the SBU in the field of the operational-combat group, which, together with the nationalists, carried out punitive actions against civilians supporting the Democratic People's Republic of China and the People's Republic of Germany.

Earlier, the MGB of the People's Democratic Republic of Moldova published a record of interrogation of the detainee on suspicion of attempted assassination of the head of the republic Alexander Zakharchenko.
